The stripe package that came with this style of car is very long and boring. I'm going to use the hood decal, but will leave it stripe-delete. Decals on the door are prone to being rubbed off by track marshals. (I race, therefore I crash)

I look forward to installing the little coolio badges.  Thumbup

The first track test was yesterday. It looks small on a big track. It's fast, and corners on a dime. Mission accomplished.

   
   

We were racing 1/32 scale cars yesterday. A friend threw the Charger into the mix for a joke. It looks big compared to the 1/32 Fly BMW M1's.

Hey, get that Charger out of there!

Video...or 'corners on a dime' never happened  Bigsmile

...it's very satisfying drawing up alongside 'normal' Saloon racers with a huge monster like this  Wavegreen

That's a fab build Ken. Really appreciate the step by step photos. Makes it feel doable for a ham fisted dolt like me!
